Due in 1883, Coupons due Ist January and Ist July. „Secured by a Registered Mortgage on the Income and all 1,-;orporate Molts, ivileges, Lands, Franchises, Plant, and 4- roperty of the Ohio Division of the Railway. Tile Bonds are redeemable at par in New York, or in Lon don at 4s. 6d. per dollar, and are transferable wi bout stamp or endorsement ; Interest Coupons are attached to the B nd Payable semi-annu .1 y, at the Cons lidated Bank in London, at the fixed rate of 4s. to the dollar. The Bonds will be issued at 66, at which rate Bonds of 1,000 dollars will cost .1:148 10s., carrying Coupuns due January 1, 1865. The Coupons represent £l4 per annum on each Bond of 1,000 dollars, or 91 per cent interest on price of issue. The immense development of the Western States of Ame rica, without any increase in the means of transit to the Eastern ports, has given the At antic and Great Western Itailway, as rapialy as the different sections have been opened, an unexampled success. The whole line is now fully ready for business and thoroughly ballasted, but the demand for rolling stock has been so far in orroess of anticipation that Adequate provision for it has not been made, and 200 miles of the, main line has remained shut up until now. Greaten' r a nave been made to amply locomotives, carriages, and trucks. The Company has built extensive works for their construc tion, and are now turning - out one locomotive complete every four days and ten freight cdrs every day. In this way the demand will, in reasonable time, be supplied. As the entire through traffic to and from New York will Pass over the Erie Rail, ay, it is but reasonable that that toCmpany, which will so largely benefit, should furnish a por n of the rolling stock, and to meet this a treaty has been Made with the Erie Directors for the expenditure of five million dollars in the construction of engines and cars. The entire amount is now under contract for rapid delivery, and 58 received will be used exclusively for the through traffic over the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, the latter otnpaay on its part agreeing to supply a similar quantity for the same purpose. Following the financial policy, adopted at the outset , of issuing securities to the public only after so much of the line Was finished as would secure the necessary income for pro viding the interest, the Company feel justified, now that the building of this great railway is complet d, in making this additional issue of Bonds. During the last t en year no railroad of anymagnitu le has been. built on the American Continent except the Atlantic and Great W( stern, in which period the population and all produce, agriciltural and mineral, have largely increased; hence results pro perous state of most of the railroads, Whose net recA:tts have enabled large dividends to be paid to the stockholders, after providing interest on indebtedness, thu s _ The Clevela- d, Columbus, and Cincinnati Rail- Way divided last year The Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton T he Little 31 am i The , Michigan Central The Lake Shore, Cleveland, a ainsville, and Ash tabula and it can no t b 3 d ou bt e d th a t the Atlantic and Great Wes 'ern, possessing almost a monopoly of the petroleum traffic, and pissing over the extensive coal fields of Ohio, which are ( 412:t eater extent than even the large field , of Pennsylvania, Will show results at least equal, and most probably exceed ing some of those above named.

It is thus evident that the resources of the road will be far snore than equal to meet the charge for interest, even should the rate of exchange rule much higher than at present.

Such is war in the luckless border States, and such are the means employed by the agents of professed philanthropists to hasten the day when there shall be more negro slavery on the North American Continent. It may be deplorable, but is not surprising that the Confederates should re taliate upon the Federals when they have the op 4 portunity—and that the war should rapidly degenerate into a war of savages. The financial situation shares the uneasiness of the political and military. The failures of the cotton speculators of Europe have reacted upon IsT,w York and Chicago, the great corn emporium of the West, has witnessed within three days a perfect panic, and the toppling down of banks and millionaires whom nobody could have suspected of even the heziid of insolvency. Gold has fallen 41 per cent. within 17 days, on the faith of victorits that have been either essggerated or invented, and has con tinued to rise and fall with and without adequate cause, to the bewilderment of the public. In the money-market ever3-thiog betokens a financial crash, which not even a grcat vict or y of the Federal arms can prevent. In h;ct, the whole financial and commercial system is so rotten and abnormal that victory is as certain to ruin one powerful set of speculators, as defeat is to ruin another. No one can tell which of the two would occasion the greater panic, if its leading operators began to fall, or how loud would be the reverberations of a smash that might involve on one side or the other nine-tenths of the mushroom magnates whom the war and a war expenditure has produced, to dazzle the public and each other with a wealth—which is wealth in name only, and which will vanish into nothingness at the first frost of a hard but wholesome reality. PRICE ..4d. STAMPED..... sd. mendacious bulletins of the War Department, and by the over-hopeful braggadocio of the Hibernian Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley and by the reticence of the cooler and more calculating Grant before Petersburg. To-day it is positively known that Sheridan's advance in the Shenandoah has been checked by the General in command of the Confederate forces, supposed to be Longstreet, who has taken the place of Eirly, and that Grant's new plan of operations against Richmond, from which so much was expected, has turned out as great and almost as costly a failure, as every pre vious attempt he has made against the Confederate capital, The two corps of his army which, under Generals Meade and Warren, he debpatched to the James River gained the permanently untenable po, sition of Chapiin'sMill at the loss of upwards of:4,000 men, while Gen. Lee—fully aware that if Grant had intended to march upon Richmond by that route he would have marched with his whole army —only detached sufficient force to foil the movement, and retained the bulk of his legions at Petersburg. He suspected or knew that Grant's calculation was that he would be alarmed for the safety of Rich.- mond against attack from the James, and would leave Petersburg inadequately protected against an assault by the main body of Grant's army. The conses quence was that Grant's designs were frustrated. He gained nothing, not even a barren victory at Chapin's Mill, and was unable to risk an advance upon Petersburg. The whole project has thus coma to a standstill, having had no results but the loss of thousands of lives, the befooling of the public, and the temporary depression of the confidence of Gen. M'Clellan's friends that he will supersede Mr. Lincoln, Nor is the situation in the Shenandoah much more comforting to the war party, either in or out of the ranks of the Republicans or the councils of the Administration. As if to prove to his countrymen that even if he should con.- quer the valley he could not retain possession, Gen. Grant has issued an order characteristically cruel and ruthless to Generals Custer and Merritt, to proceed up the valley at the head of their respec tive divisions—to do all possible damage to the railroads and the crops, to carry off the farming stock and the negroes, to take all available measures for preventing the cultivation of the soil, and, in view of the probability that the war would last for another year, to convert it into a " barren waste," where not even a blade of grass should be permitted to grow. An admiring critic, writ ing to a New York journal from the army of the Potomac, informs the world that the order has been or will be so effectually executed that if a crow flies over the valley it will either have to starve or carry its own rations. He adds that in the course of one day (Thursday, the 29th of September) Generals Custer and Merritt destroyed as much wheat as would have sufficed to feed the whole Confederate army for a twelvemonth. The Shenandoah Valley, not only one of the most lovely but the most fertile in the world, appears to be doomed, like Italy, to pay a heavy penalty for her beauty and productiveness. Her inhabitants to the latest generation will have cease to perpetuate in vindictive rhyme or tradition the remembrance of the misdeeds of the worse than Attila who wrought such horror in her fair fields in the desecrated names of liberty and union. And while these recent events in Virginia go far to prove that the Confederate cause is by no means so hopeless as Mr. Lincoln's friends and supporters for electioneering purposes endeavour to represent it, there are symptoms both in Georgia and Mis souri, that the tide of Federal success has begun to turn. General Sherman, the besieger, bids fair to become the besieged. Hood's foiled, but undefeated army, now commanded by General Beauregard, threatens to enclose him in Atlanta ; and his com mueications with his base of supplies, 140 miles in the rear, are so constantly interrupted by Generals Forrest and Wheeler, at the head of large bodies of cavalry, acquainted with all the byways and passes of the hills and valleys, as to task° it obvious to the meanest military capacity that Sherman's generals ship may speedily be subjected to severer testa than it has yet encountered, and that ho may not only require great skill, but great good fortune, to fulfil the promise of final victory, which the North still anticipates at his hands. In Missouri a signal diversion in favour of the South has been effected by Gen, Sterling Price, at the head of a well appointed army of 25,000 men, the numbers of which he is daily augmenting by forced conscription as he passes along. This conscription, it appears, is considered the reverse of a hardship by the Missourians who join his standard, as in the event of defeat and the scattering of the army by a superior Federal force, the conscripts may plead that they were compelled to take service and so save their property, if not their necks, from the vengeance of the conquerors. The avowed object of General Price is to seize the the State capital, install Mr. Reynolds, elected in the Confederate interest, as the legal governor, and hold Missouri—or such part of it as his legions can command—as a constituent portion of the Southern Confederacy. The Missourians are intensely disaf fected to the rule of Mr. Lincoln, and all the mea• sures of repression which have been adopted against them have but served to harden their hearts against the Union and the bloodthirsty officials deputed from Washington to make them love and adhere to it. 1 An incident gathered from the lips of Missourians who have fled from their homes within the last two months, and found temporaryirefuge in Canada, may help to show why the people of that State abhor the Federal rule, as administered among them by General M'Neil and other officers, and how it is that General Sterling Price, at the first gleam of success to his arms, may expect to be largely reinforced by the people. The case occurred some time ago at a place called Palmyra, where General M'Neil had his headquarters. A Unionist for whom the General had some special regard was reported to have been shot by guerillas. M'Neil forthwith ordered ten suspected inhabitants of the town, reported right• fully or wrongfully to be in league with the gueril■ las, to be publicly shot in retaliation. One of them was an elderly man, with a devotedly attached wife and a large family of children, the youngest but three years old. A youthful unmarried man, named Sydnor, a resident of Palmyra, was struck with sudden sympathy for the sad fate of this husband and father, and in a fit of generous impulse, which, had it been recorded in the page of ancient history, would have rendered his name immortal, offered his life to General M'Neil, as a substitute for that of his older fellow.country man. M'Neil, without a spark of manly or Christian feeling in his heart, had the ineffable brutality to accept the offer. The old man was released, pro testing egainst the bargain, and the young man was atrociously murdered in his stead. Though this noble act of selfssacrifice was committed in a prosaic :age, there is no fear that the memory of Sydnor will not go down with honour to an ad miring futurity, and that when Americans of the 20th or 21st centuries, purified of the stain of this savage war, shall have occasion to cite to their chil dren the names of those whose statues should find a place in the national Valhalla, that of so brave and unselfish a youth will find a foremost place, and that the name of will be repeated with the execration which it deserves. Another case, almost as horrible, occurred within the last month in Ken tucky, under the rule of the ruffian Paine, whose atrocities have become at last too bad for the Fede ral Government to tolerate, and who has fled into a neighbouring State to avoid trial before a drum head court-martial. It seems that a Federal soldier was shot by a rifle ball in front of the fences of a . small farm, owned by a farmer suspected of vague and undefinable crime of Southern sympathy. When the fact was notified to Paine, he despatched a com pany of soldiers to the place. They found the farmer digging in his garden, assisted in his labour by his son, a lad of 16. They were both seized, accused of the murder of the soldier, and without being per witted to say a word in their defence, or allowedeven THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 20, 1864.

He was not a man to save our country. If I knew that a general did not possess the right qualities to command, would I not be wrong if he was not removed? Why, when our army was falling back from Northern Georgia, I even heard that I had sent Bragg with pontoons to cross it to Cuba. But we must be charitable. The man who can specu late ought to be made to take up his musket. When the war is over, and our independence won—and we will establish our independence—who will be our aristocracy ? I hope the limping soldier. To the young ladies I would say that, when choosing between an empty sleeve and the man who had remained at home and grown rich, always take the empty sleeve. Let the old men remain at home and make bread. But should they know of any young man keeping away from the service, who cannot be made to go any other way, let them write to the Executive. I read all let era sent me from the people, but have not time to reply to them. You have not many men between 18 and 45. The boys, God bless the boys, are, as rapidly as they become old enough,going to the field. The city of Macon is filled with stores, sick and wounded. It must not be abandoned, when threatened ; but when the enemy copes, instead of calling upon Hood's ' army for defence, the old men must fight, and when the enemy is driven beyond Chattanooga, they too can join in the general rejoicing. Your prisoners are kept as a sort of Yankee capital. I have heard that one of their generals said that their exchange would defeat Sher man. I have tried every means, conceded everything to effect an exchange, but to no purpose. Butler, the beast, with whom no Commissioner of Exchange would hold inter course, had published in the newspapers that if we would consent to the exchange of negroes all difficulties might be removed. This is reported as an effort of his to get himself whitewashed, by holding intercourse with gentlemen. If an exchange could be effected, I don't know but I might be induced to recognise Butler. But to the future every effort will be given, as far as passible, to effect the end. We want our soldiers in the field and we want the sick and wounded to return home. It is not proper for me to speak of the number of men in the field, but this I will say, that two thirds of our men are absent —some sick, some wounded, but most of them absent without leave. The man who repents and goes back to his commander voluntarily appeals strongly to executive clemency. But suppose he stays away until the war is over, and his comrades return home, and when every man's history will be told, where will he shield him self ? It is upon these reflections that I rely to make men return to their duty; but, after conferring with our generals at head-quarters, if there be any other remedy it shall be applied. I love my friends and I forgive my enemies. I have been asked to send reinforcements from Virginia to Georgia. In Virginia the disparity in numbers is just as great as it is in Georgia. Then I have been asked why the army sent to the Shenandoah Valley was not sent here. It was because an army of the enemy had penetrated that valley to the very gates of Lynchburg, and General Early was sent to drive them back. This he not only successfully did, but, crossing the Potomac, came well nigh capturing Washington itself, and forced Grant to send two corps of his army to protect it.

I may not realise this hope ; but I know there are men there who have looked death in the face too often to despond now. Let no one despond. Let no one distrust; and remember that if genius is the beau ideal, hope is the reality. (From the Macon lelegraph and Confederate.) In our report yesterday of the President's speech we un intentionally omitted to mention the high and deserved compliment paid by the Executive to General Hardee. " Whoever may have failed (said the President), that noble Georgian, General Hardee, has done all that could be ex pected of a soldier or asked of a patriot." Well said, and true to the letter. (From the Charleston Courier.) The editor of the Macon Co? federate has received a pri vate letter, dated September 26, from an officer in the army, containing the following item : —" The President reviewed the troops in bivouac to-day, and some of the men in Cheatham's and Bates' divisions called out to him to send Johnston back, and proposed and gave three cheers for Old Joe." The writer also states that the officers, having re ceived information that some such demonstration was to be made, issued orders prohibiting it, and threatening to punish the offenders. Some of the men, however, were bold enough to set the order at defiance. (Front the Aujusta Constit.qtionalist) As public curiosity is much exercised concerning this dis tinguished hero, and more particularly at present with regard to his assumption of command in Georgia, we are permitted to give the substance of a brief colloquy between a gentleman and President Davis : Gentleman—Mr President, se have heard here that Gen. rood has been superseded. Is it so ? President—lf so, I have not heard it, and do not know it to be so. Gentleman—We understand that General Beauregard was to assume command. President—General Beauregard will take any command to serve his country. He will pass through Augusta in a few days. The quidnuncs aro welcome to draw whatever conclu sions they please. (From Me Charleston Courier Sepi. 24.) His Excellency President Davis passed through Augusta on Thursday afternoon. On his arrival at the Augusta and Savannah Railroad depot he was greeted by a large con course of citizens, who loudly cheered the respected Chief Magistrate of the nation at his appearance from the car in which he was travelling, In answer to these manifestations of popular applause, he appeared on the platform of the car and made a few remarks, in which he said he was happy to greet so many of his fellow-citizens of Georgia; that it is no time now for despair or despondency; that the enemy must be driven from the soil of Georgia, and that the men of Georgia must aid in the great work. They must leave for a while their wives and children, and cast their gold to the winds, and help to drive back the insolent foe from their borders. We are struggling, said the President, to pre serve the heritage bequeathed to us by our fathers—the right to govern ourselves--the right to be freemen. If we succeed we shall be happy and prosperous ; but if our con federacy should fall, constitutional government, political freedom will fall with it, and we shall be subject to such outrages as that lately enacted at Atlanta in the banishment of women and children from their homes—an outrage which would surely bring down upon the perpetrators the ven geance of a great God. He exhorted the people, therefore, to be firm and faithful, and all would yet be well. (From the Montgomery Hail.) Mr. Davis began by expressing a sense of gratitude for the occasion, which the kind attention of the Legislature had given him, of appearing before them, and assuring the citizens of Alabama from that Capitol in which the first notes of our existence were issued of his remembrance and s ympathy. He would not attempt to conceal the fact that we have experienced great disasters of late. The enemy have pressed our armies backward into the centre of Georgia, threatened the border of Alabama, and occupied the bay of Mobile —but the city still stands, and will stand though every wall and roof should fall to the ground.

P o lk, to have assailed Sh erman u p on h is flank by No r th Al a b ama . expected But he had yielded to the idea of concentrati on , an d th e sequel was anything than what he had been induced to hope. Yet we were not without compensation for our losses. In Virginia, despite the odds brought against us, we have beaten Grant, and still defiant hold ou r li nes before Rich mond and Petersburg pure pure and noble patriot, that great soldier and Christian, General Lee, although largely outnumbered upon his flanks, commanded a body of men who had never known what it was to be whipped, and never stopped to cipher. The time for action is now at hand. There is but one duty for every Southern man. It is to go the front. Those who are able for the field should not hesitate a moment, and those who are not should seek some employment to aid and assist the rest, and to induce their able-bodied associates to seek their proper places in the army. Mr Davis adverted to the part he had himself endeavoured to bear in the war, of his repugnance to the office of chief, and his desire for the field, incident to a military ambition and some faith in his capacity for arms, He also alluded to his long political career, and the animosities and ill feeling which an active part in the affairs of the country had engen dered. Ho bad feared, ho said, that old prejudices in others might be turned against him, and that old feelings in him self might influence his action ; but that he could declare to day, after four years of experience, and in the same hall where he swore before highHe wen to support the constitu tion of his country, that so help him God he had never been induced to any course, public or personal, by any con sideration of the past. lie felt that it was not time, and he was not the man, to have any friends to reward or enemies to punish. There be some men, said Mr Davis, who, when they look at the sun, can only sea a speck upon it. lam of a more sanguine temperament, perhaps, but I have striven to behold our affairs with a cool and candid temperance of heart, and applying to them the most rigid test, am the more confident the longer I behold the progrcsi of the war and reflect upon what we have failed to do, we should marvel and thank God for the great achievements which have crowned our efforts. He next rapidly surveyed our history for the past three years, concluding his resume with a thankfulness that the great staple of the south had been superseded by grain and produce for the support of our armies in the field. He paid a glowing tribute to the capacity, gallantry, and patriotism of Governor Watts, and urged upon the State and the Legislature the wisdom of his counsels. In the same connection he spoke of the soldiers of the Alabama. They had fought everywhere and well. They were still undaunted. Their example should be the pride and glory of the State, and an eloquent appeal to those who were yet behind. Mr. Davis spoke eloquently of the horrors of war and the sufferings:of the people. He desired peace. He had tried to obtain it and had been rudely repulsed. He should still strive, and by the blessing of God and the strong arm of the soldiers, yet hoped to obtain it. If there be those who hoped to outwit the Yankees, and by smooth words and fair speeches, by the appearance of a willingnesss to treat or to listen to reunion, hope to effect any certain candidate in the North, they deceive themselves. Victory in the field is the surest element of strength to a peace party. Let us win battles, and we shall have overtures soon enough. Is there a man in the South in favour of reconstruction ? Mr. Davis drew a fine picture of the horrors of reunion, which means subjugation. " All that I have to say," he ex claimed, in concluding this portion of his remarks, "is that the man who is in favour of degradation is on the wrong side of the line of battle." BED .ROOM CANDLES.

JEFF, DAVIS ON THE REBELLION. (From the _Richmond Enquirer, Sept. 26.) President Davis passed through Salisbury, N. C., a few days ago, en route for the South. He was greeted at the depot of that place by a largo number of citizens. The Salisbury TY atchman says:— On the arrival of the train, it being certainly ascertained that he was aboard, he was waited on by Mayor Shaver and Messrs Hall and Snober, who conducted him to the platform, from which he delivered a pretty little speech. He paid a high compliment to North Carolina, to the firmness and patriotism of her people, and especially to the gallantry of her troops, as evinced on the many bloody battle fields of Virginia, beginning with the first battle of Bethel down to that of Reams' station. Ho said, though the tongue of slander had been busy, they had redeemed every pledge of their State, and shown their determination to be free and independent of the hateful enemy. He adverted to our recent reverses, and said though late reverses had befallen our arms, and a gloom hung over us for the time, the spirit of the Confederacy was unbroken; and that yet, under the blessing of God, we would wring peace and independence from a hated foe, Ho advised all men able to bear arms to rally to the assistance of those brave men already in the field. The camp is now the place to secure the priceless heritage handed down to us by our Revolutionary fathers. Let every soldier now absent re turn at once to his command. If in Lee's army go there ; if Hoorl's, go there ; and lot every .man do what he may, whether in the army or at home, to sustain the efforts making to liberate us from the despotism of a cruel enemy. He also applauded the ladies for their service and untir ing devotion to the cause, and urged them to resolve to marry no man who had shirked the responsible duties of a soldier; but rather take the one armed soldier who had proved his fidelity and manhood, in battling for our com mon rights, than he who had not proved the possession of either. (From the Macon Telegraph and Confederate, Sept. 24.) Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends and Fellow-Citizens,—lt would have gladdened my heart to have met you in prospe rity instead of adversity. But friends are drawn together in adversity. The son of a Georgian who fought through the first Revolution, I would be untrue to myself if I should forget the State in her day of peril. What though misfor tune has befallen our arms from Decatur to Jonesboro, our cause is not lost. Sherman cannot keep up his long line of communication, and retreat sooner or later he must ; and when that day comes, the fate which befel the army of the French empire in its retreat from Moscow will be reacted. Our cavalry and our people will harass and destroy his army as did the Cossacks that of Napoleon—and the Yankee General, like him, will escape with only a body guard. How can this be the most speedily eff_cted ? By the absentees of Hood's army returning to their posts ; and will they not? Can they see the banished exiles—can they hear the wail of their suffering countrywomen and children and not come ? By what influences they are made to stay away it is not necessary to speak, If there is one who will stay away at this hour he is unworthy of the name of Geor gian. To the women no appeal is necessary. They are like the Spartan mothers of old. I know of one who has lost all her sons except one of eight years. She wrote that she wanted me to reserve a place for him in the ranks. The venerable General Polk, to whom I read the letter, know that woman well, and said it was characteristic of her; but I will not weary you by turning aside to relate the various incidents of giving up the last son to the cause of our country known to me. Wherever wo go we find the hearts and hands of our noble women enlisted. They are seen wherever the eye may fall or the step turn. They have one duty to perform —to buoy up the hearts of our people. Iknow the deep dis grace felt by Georgia and our army falling back from Dalton to the interior of the State. But I was not of those who con.. sidered Atlanta lost when our army crossed the Chattahoo chee. I resolved it should not, and I then put a man in com mand who I knew would strike a manly blow for the city, and many a Yankee's blood was made to nourish the soil before the prize was won. It does not become us to revert to disaster. Let the dead bury the dead. Let us, with one arm and one effort, endeavour to crush Sherman. lam going to the army to confer with our generals.

(From the limes' Special Correspondent) NEW YORK, OCT. 7. After an absence of three weeks in British America, to study the premonitory symptoms that announce the birth of a new nation, I resume my pen in this city, the commercial capital of what might, in contradistinction, be called American America, if it were not for the pleonasm involved in the expression, to describe the more violent pa• roxysms which seem to precede the final disruption and political death of a greater Canfederation than the world ever saw. In Canada all is peace and order. In the outlying maritime provinces, almost as remote from Montreal and Quebec in point of time, as these are from Europe, there has been en gendered a growing desire, not alone to cement and assure their relations with the mother country, as the great centre of authority and the strongest security of their liberty, but to enter into political partnership with the Canadas, and with any other States and colonies that may hereafter be founded bet weep the Western shores of the Great Lakes and the slopes of the Rocky Mountains ; thence to stretch to the Pacific Ocean, and to include at no distant date the magnificent territories of British Columbia and Vancouver. In these colonies the still current of political life is only disturbed by the healthy and breezy ripple of progress and fair weather. Gold ' is at par. The paper dollar based upon adequate security is exchangeable for the full value which it represents. Confidence between merchant and merchant and between the people and the banks is unimpaired. Provisions are cheap and abundant. Every honest, hardworking man can gain a com ' fortable subsistence by labour not too long pro tracted. The authority of the law is paramount. The inestimable privilege of the Habeas Corpus has neither been suspended nor threatened. Every man can sit in the sunshine, " with none to make him afraid." There is not a grievance to be alleged, or even whispered, against the Imperial Government, the purely nominal but beneficent suzerainty of which keeps the politi cal machinery of the colonies in working order, ex cept a querilons but affectionate complaint that England does not reciprocate the kindly feeling with which her American possessions regard her. But in Federal America—about to be broken up into two, if not into three or four political organises tions, everything is the reverse. The fiery order l of war has tried the stability of the institutions on which popular liberty seemed to repose, and found them ineufficient for the day of peril. The longer the war lasts the more envenomed it grows. North and South are no longer free Republics fighting against each other for a principle of honour—but hostile despotisms, ignoring the rights of the people, —the one striving to exist, the other to dominate. Liberty and war are found to be as incompatible on the one side as on the other s The law of might is the only law recognised. Men's passions are in flamed to the fever point, and madness takes the place of reason. Thieves and swindlers in high places grow fat upon the plunder of the army and the people. Commerce in the Federal North is de moralised, and, having made up its mind for high prices, shudders at the prospects of peace and recon ciliation, remote and shadowy as they are, and curses the victories, real or supposed, which the Government and the Generals in the field announce because they bring down the premium on gold, re duce prices, and, if continued much longer, ,will ruin thousands of speculators, large and small, and produce financial collapse, perhaps national bank ruptcy, even although they might not in the long run be found stable or productive enough to produce the pacification of the country. Party feeling is venomous, and, as the day of election for the President draws near, brings into play the worst characteristics of human nature, and, should the contest prove close, threatens to introduce a new element of revolutionary convulsion into the seething caldron of popular passion. The existing Administration is at its wit's end to catch the wavering favour of the multitude—lies by itself, or its agents, on every event of peace or war that it can twist or exaggerate into a reason, or a sem blance of reason, for the perpetuation of its power. The working classes are sullen and discontented, scowl at the idea of a forced conscription, always threatened, but never attempted in any populous community, and clamour for an amount of wages in depreciated paper which will represent the purchas ing power of the wages in hard money which they received before their hands, or those of their sons, were imbrued in the blood of their Southern brothers, and up to this time clamour, and are likely to clamour, in vain. States as large as European kingdoms are governed under martial law by attor neys and mule drivers, who seem to think that the more horrible the atrocities they commit on their political opponents the greater service they will render to the Government that employs them. And over and above all these sources of evil broods the dark, iniquitous conviction that if the North cannot conquer the South, or the South the North, and that the Union cannot be restored by a civil war, a foreign war against France or England, unprovoked although it may be by either of those powers, may afford the last desperate chance of preserving what these proud Americans call "the life of the nation ;" a nation, however that has never yet existed, and which if the civilised world were wise, and awake to its own interest and security, it would never suffer to exist, if the formal recognition of the South as an independent Power were sufficient to prevent or even to retard the consummation. If the Union be indeed moribund—which the North ern Americans passionately and continuously deny —it dies hard. The strong man disbelieves in his own dissolution. All things are mortal but himself. Rome and Greece may be dead, England may have approached her last hour, but the Union is in its vigorous and rampant youth, and neither insidious disease nor sudden calamity shall strike it down. Ho feels that no external hand has aimed a blow at his vitals, and cannot believe that i❑ his rude and lusty frame there exists a poison that he can neither eradicate nor neutralise, and the same physical laws which apply to other living beings apply also to him. He curses his doctors, repudiates their remedies, and even in the last agony thinks a vigorous maturity and a green old age are before him. For the last three or four weeks such thoughts s.s these have had possession of the mind of the Yankee nation. All has been joy and expectation, and pro phecy of crowning victory to be achieved at Rich mond by the great Gen. Grant, but within the last three days there have been ominous whispers in places of public resort and in the offices of merchants, brokers, and bankers, that the people have again and for the hundredth time been deceived by the New Statues for the British Museum, The British Museum received yesterday the statues from the Farnese Palace at Rome, recently purchased from his Majesty, the ex-King of Naples. These. statues, nine in number, are as follow :- 1. A Mercury, nearly identical in pose and scale with the celebrated statue in the Belvedere of the Vatican. Another copy of this work exists in the gallery at Lansdowneshouse, of which it forms the principal ornament. Of these three Mercuries the one in the Farnese Palace is the most complete, having undergone very little restoration, and it was by reference to this figure that Visconti showed that the figure in the Vatican was not an Antinous, as Ras formerly supposed. All three statues are doubtless copies of some celebrated original. It would be difficult, without placing these statues side by side, to determine which of the three is the most beautiful work of art, but competent judges are disposed to give the palm to the Farnese Mer cury as the figure which preserves most faithfully the style of the exquisite Greek original which has formed the prototype of all three. The head of this figure is remarkable for that pensive expression which ancient art delighted to associate with the perfection of physical beauty. Every feature is intact, and the surface of the marble in admirable condition. The neck is inclined gracefully on one side, and there is in the form that inimitable com bination of suppleness with strength which the sculptor had for ever before his eyes in the pa/tesa tra, and which may still be seen in some bf the races of the Levant. Vestiges of colour may yet be traced is the drapery at the back of this figure. 2. An equestrian statute of a Roman Emperor of heroic size. The head is that of Caligula, but doubts have been entertained whether it belongs to the body. The legs of the horse have also been restored in places, but on the whole this group is in very fine condition, and especially interesting, as being one of the very few equestrian statues which have been preserved to us from antiquity. Indeed, it is believed that only four such groups exist in marble, viz., the two statues of the Balbi in the Museo Borbonico at Naples, the mutilated torso of a Persian figure from the Mausoleum, and tho Farnese group. As a work of art, this group is inferior to the two groups at Naples, and also to the bronze Nlareus AureEuA of the Roman Capitol. It is, how■ ever, a good sp-eimen of R3llllll monumental art, and may b 2 studied with advantage by the student of the present day. 3. The celebrated and unique copy of the Diadud menos of Polycletus. This figure, an engraving of which is given in K. 0. Muller's Kenk?naler d. a. _Kunst, taf. xxxi., No. 136, rPpresents a Greek athlete binding a diadem round his held, whence the name Disdumenos, by which the figure wee known in the ancient schools. In the form we see the same characteristics as in the types of Phidias, great muscular development in all the nobler points of the figure, united with an exquisite harmony of proportion, so that the predominant expression which the figure suggests is rather that of grace than of mere brute force. This figure has a special interest to the student of art, because it is an un. questioned copy, and the only one in existence in the round from that work of Polycletus which the judgment of antiquity esteemed one of his two masterpieces ; which, like his other chef d oeuvre, the Doryphorus, was used as a canon of proper. tions in the ancient schools, and which, at a later period, sold for the enormous sum of 100 talents, equal to £25,000. 4. An Apollo playing on the lyre, in the same attitude as the beautiful statue from Cyrene, in the British Museum, but naked. This figure has been. a good deal restored, but the modern additions have been made with great skill and knowledge. 6. An heroic figure, to which no name has as yet bean assigned. It may possibly represent a King of the Macedonian period in the character of a Deity, according to the system of ideal portraiture which came in after the time of Alexander the Great. This figure is well modelled. 7. A Satyr holding up a basket in which is an Amorino. The statue is of the Roman period, and not very finely executed, but the motive is nail and unusual, and the sculpture in admirable condition. The two remaining statues in the collection are a group of Mercury and HerE€ badly restored, but interesting on account of the subj2et, and a male torso. An interesting notice of the statues now acquired by the British Museum, from the pen of Professor Gerhard, of Berlin, is to be found in Bunsen's great work on the topography of Rome. -These statues formed part of the celebrated Farnese collection, the remainder of which is now in the Maseo Borboa nico at Naples, and most, if not all, of which were found in the Baths of Caracalla. While we congratulate the country on this value( able accession to the national collection of ancient sculpture, we are bound to mention that this acqui. sition is mainly due to the friendly intervention of Mr William Story, the well known American sculptor at Rome, whose Cleopatra and African Sybil were so justly admired in the Great Exhibi% tion, and whose Saul, still in his studio, is a work of even greater power. To Mr Storey the first over. tures respecting this purchase were made, and it was by his untiring zeal and patience that the long and tedious negociation which ensued was brought to ci, satisfactory termination.
